"I'm a survivor in the truest sense. I survived all of life's challenges. I can accomplish anything in spite of all the personal problems I'm going through. I'm a mom, a military officer, a military pilot and a business woman. I can do multi-tasking and get the work done well."

Captain Maya Segovia, a military officer and a pilot of the Military Air Force has always thought of herself as a man trapped in a woman's body. Maya has been a pilot for seven years and she believes that it is her destiny to be a part of the profession ruled by men. "Flying is really one of the things that make me happy," she added. Always competitive and physically active, Maya has been a mountaineer for 16 years and has also participated in triathlons. She is also a taekwondo black-belter. On top of these credentials, Maya prepared herself for Survivor Philippines: Palau by studying people politics through reading books on psychology.
